[Avodah] Daat Torah

[Micha Berger]

I just put notes (plus my additions) of part of a shiur by Rabbi
Rakeffet up on my blog. See
<http://www.aishdas.org/asp/2007/07/safeiq-derabbanan.shtml>. (Copies
available by request for those who do not use the web.)


In this YUTorah.org recording RAR discusses whether dinim derabannan
necessarily reflect Ratzon Hashem (or are pragmatic advice), and how
different positions on the subject impact understanding safeiq
derabbanan lequlah as well as the CI's stance on shemittah.

He holds that shemittah derabbanan has a reality, then someone keeping
it today would get the berakhah of 3 year's food, and it's much easier
to be machmir.

Side-note: The CI is against the SMA, which RAR quotes as "SMA", not
"SME". <g>

The Meshekh Chokhmah and R' Elchanan Wasserman are also involved, on
another plane the Ramban is involved, and I drag in R' Shimon Shkop
and the SA haRav.

Tir'u baTov!
